The 2017 Ford Raptor may look tough, but the Ram 1500 Minotaur is one monstrous truck that can eat it alive. Prefix Performance is offering the Minotaur aftermarket package to owners of a 2013 Ram 1500 and newer models. The package, available from participating dealerships, offers a whole new off-roading experience.

With the base package running in at just under $22,000, the Ram 1500 has never looked more powerful. The package is available on Ram 1500 models 2013 and newer, or drivers can buy the Ram 1500 Minotaur brand new.

Riding on 35-inch all-terrain tires wrapped around 17-inch aluminum wheels, the Ram 1500 Minotaur is intimidating to say the least. Throw in red painted tow hooks, an aluminum front skid plate, LED fog lamps, and Minotaur badging and it only gets fiercer.

While the package doesn’t include any engine or exhaust changes, performance enthusiasts rejoice! Prefix Performance also offers the 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine for $12,995 as well as a Dodge Viper-inspired performance side exhaust system for $2,595.

While the Ram 1500 Minotaur isn’t the cheapest truck on the road, it offers off-road performance few competitors can match.

Corwin Dodge Ram can’t wait to see what happens when the Raptor and Minotaur go head-to-head off-road!

The 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat blew everyone away with over 700 horsepower while running in at less than $70,000. Few muscle cars can compete with that kind of power so it comes as no surprise to learn that Dodge will one-up themselves with the 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. Actually, that might be a little surprising to those who aren’t too familiar with Dodge.

Considering the 2016 Dodge Challenger boasted a whopping 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, it’d be understandable is the Hellcat’s performance went unchanged for the 2017 model year.

Like the 2016 Dodge Challenger Hellcat? Then you’ll be in for a treat with the 2017 version.

Proving that every car has room for improvement, the 2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat will boast a firestorm of 900 horsepower. The increased power comes as result of Hennessey Performance and Dodge working side-by-side on the monstrous muscle car.

Combined with Hennessey’s custom HPE1000 package, the Hellcat’s performance jumps to 1032 horsepower. That package adds twin turbocharged that work alongside the Hellcat’s supercharger and includes steel turbocharged headers and high flow fuel injection.

That package also throws in custom badges, floor mats, a one-year/12,000-mile warranty and a whopping 987 lb-ft of torque. Performance enthusiasts, be warned. This isn’t a muscle car for those that just want a touch of power in their ride.

Popular Mechanics has recently included the 2016 Ram lineup in their annual Automotive Excellence Awards. The Ram lineup offers the best combination of performance, technology, and value when compared to other full-size pickups.

The article from Popular Mechanics named Ram the “Best Truck” winner and stated that from “top to bottom, this is the model to beat.” The editors of the magazine visited factories, interviewed engineers, and drove each vehicle before reaching their decision.

The fact that the Ram is the only pickup with a ZF-designed eight-speed automatic transmission helps to set the vehicle apart from the competition. Ram is committed to innovation, efficiency, and durability. The truck boasts of great looks, refined interiors, and durable engines.

The 2016 Ram beat the competition in many of the sought-after titles including the following:

For many reasons, the Journey is one of Dodge’s most versatile options.

Choosing the right vehicle can be a difficult decision. With so many models on the market vying for your dollar, every option may seem appealing. But, when it comes to quality, few cars follow through with their promises.

The Dodge Journey crossover doesn’t disappoint, though, and that’s one of the many reasons to buy one. Here are some others:

Seating for seven: The Journey comfortably seats two more passengers than other crossovers which only seat five people.

Cargo space: With its versatile interior layout, the Journey offers up to 67 cubic feet of storage room.

Efficiency: For being a large vehicle, the Journey doesn’t use much fuel; it reaches up to 26 mpg on the highway.

500 miles per tank: Combining efficiency with capacity, the Journey can take you further than you thought possible on a single fill-up.

V6 engine: If strength is important to you, the Journey can be outfitted with an available V6 engine.

Hot tech: The latest Journey comes with loads of fun stuff, like a W-Fi Hotspot, Bluetooth, and satellite radio.

Dodge brand: You know you’re getting a quality product because of the reputation behind the Dodge insignia.

Low price: For all of this, the Journey starts at an incredibly low MSRP under $22,000.

Hitting a top speed on a dry track is one thing, but doing it on ice is a whole different story. Drivers took a ride out to Arsunda, Sweden to take part in Arsunda Speed Weekend, an event that literally takes place on ice. As it turns out, not even the icy heart of Sweden can cool the fiery fury under the hood of the Dodge Challenger Hellcat.

The Challenger Hellcat is the top model in the muscle car’s lineup and for good reason. Under the hood is a 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V8 engine that produces an absolutely astounding 707 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque.

Built for all conditions: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat

The Challenger Hellcat took to the ice as a stock model with the addition of studded tires for added traction. The results were both surprising and blew everyone’s expectations out of the water—err, ice.

With a top speed of 170 mph, the Challenger Hellcat landed at the top of its class. Not only that, the muscle car set the speed record for its class. Driver Alx Danielsson had his hands full keeping the car on the road, even with studded tires.

Here at Corwin Dodge Ram of Springfield, we can’t wait to see what the Dodge Challenger Hellcat will overcome next!

The Big Three of Detroit have gone tire-to-tire time and time again, but no competition has been as heated as the one raging in the pickup market. Full-size trucks are a hotbed for profit margins, and Ram, Ford, and Chevrolet aren’t pulling any punches to take market share. Ram’s market share has grown dramatically over the years, and for good reason.

Ram has listened closely to what customers want, more so than any other automaker. Following Chrysler’s bankruptcy and merger with Fiat, Ram’s future was left uncertain. Between 2010 and 2015, the brand pulled 6% of the truck market, ground gained from Ford, Toyota, and General Motors.

Today, Ram holds 21% of the pickup market and that’s nothing to scoff at. Given the low fuel prices, specific features customers have asked for, and more standard equipment have made the line a viable choice.

“Ram has carved out a unique place in the pickup segment by breaking the mold of what a truck should offer,” said Dave Sullivan, a product analyst at AutoPacific Inc. “That has resonated with consumers.”

We’re pumped to see the Ram brand doing so well in such a competitive market!

Whether you’re a fan of the Dodge Charger or not, you have to give the nod to Hennessey. The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was already one of the most powerful cars on the road. Featuring a supercharged HEMI V8 engine that pumps out 707 horsepower and 650 lb-ft of torque, it’s a force to be reckoned with. Now, though, Hennessey has gone the extra mile and brought even more power to the road.

Hennessey’s Dodge Charger Hellcat reaches an unbelievable 1,032 horsepower and 987 lb-ft of torque. The HPE1000 kit, available for the Challenger Hellcat as well, makes use of a triple-charged system. By adding twin turbochargers to the existing supercharger, the technicians were able to create an absolute monster.

The Dodge Charger Hellcat is getting a huge under-the-hood upgrade with the help of Hennessey.

The end result is a HPE1000 Charger that can reach 60 mph in 2.7 seconds. It completes a quarter-mile run in just under 10 seconds with a speed of 142 mph.

The HPE1000 package doesn’t come cheap. Running a bill of $55,0

00 on top of the Charger Hellcat, you’ll need a good chunk of change to hit 1,000 horsepower. Hennessey also offers HPE800 and HPE850 kits.

Corwin Dodge Ram is amazed at the sheer power under the hood of the Dodge Charger!
